One of my magazines that I find worth it to make time to read just came out with some very yummy Greek dishes, which could provide a nice addition to anyone's cook book.  Below, I've included two of them.

Saganaki (Flaming Greek Cheese)

Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 5 Minutes
Servings: 6

1          pound soft Kasseri cheese (may substitute mozzarella)
3          tablespoons butter, melted
2          tablespoons brandy
juice of ½ lemon
baguette, sliced


Cut cheese into 6 wedges and arrange in star shape in shallow heatproof serving dish.  Brush with melted butter.  Broil on high 4 to 6 inches from heat until cheese bubbles, 5 or 6 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Pour brandy over cheese and ignite immediately in front of guests.  Extinguish by sprinkling with lemon juice.  Serve with sliced baguette.

Horiatiki (Greek Salad)

Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Servings: 6


4          large tomatoes, cut into wedges
½         large cucumber, cut into half moons
½         red onion, sliced into rings
24        kalamata olives
6          ounces feta cheese, cut into small cubes
4          tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2          tablespoons lemon juice
2          cloves garlic, minced
1          teaspoon dried oregano
½         teaspoon sea salt
½         teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Place all vegetables and cheese in a large salad bowl.  Make dressing by adding remaining ingredients to a lidded container.  Place lid on container and shake to combine.  Pour dressing over salad and toss gently.  Garnish with freshly ground black pepper.  Serve immediately.
